AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn receiver Jaylon Denson is likely out for the remainder of the season, and the injured junior is already focusing on a big comeback in the future..

Denson tore the patellar tendon in his left leg during the Tigers' first possession against LSU on Saturday, according to a report on AuburnSports.com. He suffered the injury while attempting to turn around and adjust to a pass from Nick Marshall.

"I'm down.. But best believe I'm not out!" Denson wrote Monday on Instagram. "The SEC has not seen the last of me! I will bounce back & come back stronger & harder than ever before!"

Auburn's coaching staff has declined to discuss specifics of the injury, which required trainers to place his left leg in an air cast before he was carted off the field Saturday. Auburn lost to No. 6 LSU 35-21.

Jaylon Denson shared a message Monday with his fans on Twitter and Instagram.

The Hoover native had three catches for 45 yards this season and was one of the Tigers' best blockers. Marshall threw to Denson twice on the opening drive.

"Jaylon is one of our most consistent, if not our most consistent, receivers," coach Gus Malzahn said Monday at the Monday Morning Quarterback Club in downtown Birmingham. "That's a big blow for us. We have an off week, we have a chance to start to develop some of those younger guys and get a plan moving forward."

Offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee pointed to tight end Brandon Fulse and receiver Melvin Ray as potential players who could help the Tigers on the perimeter as a pass catcher and blocker during a press conference Sunday.
